Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>don't you hate that question? for health homework (which is kinda geared to helping juniors in college admissions at my school), we're supposed to describe ourselves as if we were writing letters of recommendation. i hate this kind of stuff because how are we really supposed to describe ourselves? i mean it's such a common question but easily underestimated.</p>

<p>so, what are some words/phrases that describe you?</p>

<p>for me:
motivated
untapped potential
hard working
independent (as in i can do things on my own without other people's help)
sociable</p>

<p>I'm blue (da ba dee da ba di)</p>

<p>uhhh....
motivated (to an unhealthy level)
passionate
hard working
intelligent
math geek
vocab freak
fun
random</p>

<p>Personally, I think that we should delegate the task of judging ourselves to other people, as our own views of ourselves are quite distorted (think anorexia, etc.).</p>

<p>My HUSH/APEuro prof once said "you would have made a good aristocrat."</p>

<p>I'm not quite sure how to interpret that, but I think it's a good thing. (Of course, he's a socialist, so he may not have meant it that way...)</p>
